Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 38

Even Cola and Hamburger looked at the middle-aged woman with speechless expressions.

"What's wrong? Am I not correct?" The woman still didn't realize her problem.

Gu Wanyin put down her chopsticks and smiled ambiguously, "This hotel seems to be mine, not yours, right?"

"I know it's yours! Otherwise, why would I come to discuss this with you?" The woman said righteously.

Gu Wanyin really didn't know how this woman had managed to survive for over a year in the post-apocalyptic world.

Was it by moral blackmail?

But it didn't matter, as long as she herself had no morals, others couldn't blackmail her.

"Since it's my hotel, I make the decisions. If you don't like how I do things, you're free to leave," Gu Wanyin said coldly.

She sympathized with people struggling to survive in the apocalypse, but that didn't mean she had to sacrifice herself for others, did it?

If someone enjoyed so many privileges, naturally they should follow the rules!

Even if there were no rules restricting her, whether to distribute resources or not was her freedom. It wasn't for others to dictate to her!

Originally, this was a grand opening promotion period, with food and drinks priced quite low. For this woman to come and complain like this, wasn't it just being greedy?

"You..." The woman was taken aback, "How can you be so heartless?"

"If you're not heartless, you can use your own points to treat more people in the hotel to something nice," Hamburger said with an innocent face.

The woman: "..."

She had come to talk to Gu Wanyin precisely because she had few points left! She knew how good this hotel was and wanted to stay here indefinitely!

But she had no supernatural ability, and she didn't dare to stab zombies with knives like Dong Yue did. The points she earned from other things were too few!

She thought if she could persuade Gu Wanyin, she could freeload off these good things in the hotel in the future!

"What's wrong? Is what my sister said incorrect?" Cola directly mimicked her tone from earlier.

The woman was left speechless and stormed off angrily.

"Big sister, she's really strange," Hamburger said to Gu Wanyin.

"It's fine," Gu Wanyin patted her head and smiled, "Don't mind her, let's continue eating."

"Mmhmm."

...

After dinner, Gu Wanyin, Cola, and Hamburger were eating fruit and watching TV in their room.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Cola ran over with a "pitter-patter" to open the door, then said, "Brother Fang Yang, why are you here?"

Hearing it was Fang Yang, Gu Wanyin also walked over and asked, "Did something happen?"

"Boss, there's someone making trouble in the cafeteria," Fang Yang said with a bitter face. "Xu Shi tried to reason with her, but she just won't listen."

"I'll go take a look."

Gu Wanyin told Cola and Hamburger to stay in the room, then followed Fang Yang to the cafeteria.

At this time, many guests were eating in the cafeteria. She immediately spotted that middle-aged woman standing in front of the food dispensing machine, holding a plate of spicy chicken, arguing righteously with Xu Shi about something.

Some nearby guests who couldn't stand it anymore said a few words to her, but she just glared at them.

"What's going on?" Gu Wanyin asked as she approached.

"Boss!" Xu Shi rubbed his face in frustration, "This woman is being unreasonable..."

"Who are you calling unreasonable? Young man, how can you be so disrespectful to your elders!" The woman's eyes widened, "I haven't eaten this food yet, why can't I return it?"

As soon as she said this, Gu Wanyin understood.

So this woman bought a plate of spicy chicken, then changed her mind and wanted them to refund her points, is that it?

Unfortunately, Gu Wanyin didn't have that authority.

Even if she did, she wouldn't want to let this woman cause trouble here.

"The hotel rules clearly state that food, once sold, cannot be returned or exchanged," Gu Wanyin said. "When you checked in, the staff already had you review the rules."

"I did show her!" Xu Shi immediately said, "And she even said she would definitely follow the hotel rules!"

"But your rules are completely unreasonable!" the woman retorted.

"How are they unreasonable?" Zhuang Xiaoxia, who had been standing by, couldn't help but interject, "Do you know what time it is now? It's the apocalypse! You should be grateful to have a place like this to stay. How dare you say whether the rules are reasonable or not?"

Dong Yue also said, "Even before the apocalypse, some stores had similar policies, right?"

"You, you all..."

Seeing that she couldn't argue her way out, the woman simply sat down on the ground and started to make a scene.

"I don't care, I bought the wrong thing, I don't want this plate of spicy chicken, you must refund my points!"

Before the apocalypse, this woman often did similar things.

After the apocalypse came, she had been living cautiously, surviving until now through luck and moral blackmail.

Of course, she only morally blackmailed some thin-skinned high-level ability users.

Others were already struggling to take care of themselves in the apocalypse, who could she blackmail?

Earlier when she went to talk to Gu Wanyin about that matter and was rejected, then even mocked by Cola and Hamburger, she harbored resentment.

She thought that during the few days she had stayed at the hotel, everyone praised the hotel owner for being kind and good-tempered.

And given her advanced age, what could Gu Wanyin do to her?

If she was kicked out, she would just refuse to leave.

Then she could accuse Gu Wanyin of not respecting the elderly, making others point fingers at her. Gu Wanyin surely couldn't stand that.

In any case, she just wanted to keep living in this hotel indefinitely, and without spending points at that!

Gu Wanyin looked at her, her gaze gradually turning cold: "Are you sure you want to keep making trouble?"

"How is this making trouble? I'm a customer! The customer is always right. Are you really going to kick me out? I'm your elder, you..."

"System, take care of it," Gu Wanyin couldn't be bothered to listen to her nonsense anymore.

"Yes, host," the system's cold, emotionless voice sounded.

The next moment, the woman's expression suddenly froze, and then she instantly vanished from the cafeteria.

Some people in the cafeteria who were witnessing this for the first time instinctively gasped in surprise.

Gu Wanyin remained expressionless.

From the first time this woman tried to morally blackmail her, she had wanted to kick her out.

But considering it was the apocalypse and everyone was having a hard time, and the woman hadn't actually violated the hotel rules at that point, she didn't do it.

As a result, this woman became more and more presumptuous, even daring to violate the rules and throw a tantrum in the cafeteria.

Well, she couldn't blame anyone but herself now.

Even if Gu Wanyin hadn't said anything, if the woman had kept causing trouble, the system would have removed her anyway.

Originally, she could have had a place to stay in the apocalypse... why did she have to court death?

Seeing some guests with frightened expressions, Gu Wanyin smiled and said, "Everyone, please rest assured. As long as you follow the hotel rules, you won't be teleported away. This will be your eternal paradise."

After saying this, Gu Wanyin, remembering the drama she had been watching, returned to her room.

The guests in the cafeteria began to discuss among themselves.
